This invention relates to n. devenpor't bed, this of the objects of the present invention is the production oi. o bed of the cimrecter described wliicii'is so constructed that when arranged to form :1. 501,11 or ilrwenport there Wiil be nothing to indicate that it con-- vertiliie into n lied and when unfolded will form o bed wherein a, Wide mattress is presented and firmly su 'iporteii for use, While the upholstered sect of the rlnvenport turned rlownumi located under the front part of the mattress so as to l e protected during the use of the device us 51 bed.

Another object of this invention is to provide a sectional 'r OlliHiJlO mattress frame which is adapted to carry it mattress sup" port constructed oi coii springs, the sectionni tirnine when folded being); so nrrune'eii that ample space for the mnttress and bedding is providetla Another object oi the invention is to provirle a bed the fflll'iiilfle sectirnis of which will counterbalance each other during the extending: foldingof the bed, time rendering it comparatively easy for anyone to manipulate the some. 2

Another object oi the invention is to provide n liflti of the character described in which the arm sections of the (iavenport are extended when the mattress frame is m1- folded to form :1. support therefor and also to permit K'Qtfif] access to the lXi'i from either side Without any interference from the rlnvenport arms or side sections as is usuuiiy the case.

Tn nrtlier objects will hereinafter'oppear. The invention consists of the parts and the combination and the construction of parts as hereinafter more fuiiy described and claimed, having reference to the atoconi panyingdrawings, in Whieli- Figure 1 is a cross section of the (lavenpor't bed showing it in the folded position.

Fig. i is a plain View of the bed partly in section Referring to the drawings in detail indicates in general the main frame of the (izi/venport. This frame consists of we; section and a of enrl sections 3. iiiingedly secured-es at 4% to the upner eeige of the beck section a cover e l-'tion e which is u iliolsteretl as at 3 to give the dnvenport ornamental appearance and also to form a portion of the back rest of the (invenport. l orz'netl in the end sections 3 is an effect as shown at '7 and 8 and adopted be supported on the surface 8 is e pair of arm sections 3). These arm sections are pivotzilly EiilIEiCllQti to :1 pair of linknrms 10 which no to swing about a pivotal member 11 from the position shown in Fig". 1 to the position shown in Fig. 2. The arm sections 3) are connected by means of a T053 member 12, the Front face of which is upbolstered as at 13 to form :1 continuation of the back rest shown at i"). The forward ends of the urn] sections 9 are finished with postlike projections .1 2 and the inner or rear ends of the buck sections are proaided with similar posts 15 which eoo 'icr ate with the'ironi'. posts to "form supporting legs ior the forward portion of illlt bed when it is extended as in Fig. 1. The legs 15 being;- slightly ionger than the legs 14 to vform the reel supporting legs. The upper surfaces of the arm sections 9 may be upholstered :is shown at M3 or finished in uny other suitable manner While the seat portion also upholstered as nt 17, said upholstered section being supported by coil springs 18. The coii springs liere shown are in renlity flf lll l3 and are seem-ell or supported in u unrttress frame generally iiuliouted :it 19. "This frame may be constructed oi angle iron or like ninteruii and consists of two side burs l5) and an end connecting bill 520, llll rigrirlly sol-mini to the seat frame comprising: time arms 9 and the cross member 12.

The mattress 'lrmne as :1 whoie consists of an inner and outer main section such as shown at 1!) and 31 and an intermediate section 22. The inner section of the mattress fr-rune is constructa similn r to the outer tion tmtlie extent that it consists of a pair of sidebars 521 which in this instance are con- Fig. 3 a detnii View of the foot "oozird. nected lly moons of a head board 23, This all? board is 'pivotally athuwhed to the inner end,

of the le burs as 2% and its opposite end is provided with a pin-like projection upon which are journalcd rollers 25. These roll ers travel in slotted plates 26 secured in each end section 3 of: the main frame, said slotted plates being curved substantially shown at 917 to form e support for the head board when extended. as shown in Fig. 2. T he intermediate section of the mattress frame shown at 22 consists of a pair of side rails which are pivotally connected at each end as at 28 and 29 to the inner and outer sections of the mattress frame as shown. The intern'iediate section assumes an alinement with the other sections of the mattress will to this extent also form a spacer between seid mattress -lfrzune sections thereby providing ample space as shown at 30 for the reception of a mattress and bedding.

The outer mattress frame 19 is pivotslly attached tothe arms by means oi a pair of angle brackets 31, While the inner mattress {reins supported by means of a pair of links 32. 'lfhess linlcs pivotally secured to e bearing plate 33 secured one to each end member 3 otthe iznain frame, said pivotal connect one being shown at and 11. The arms to are also pivotnlly attached to this plate as shown at l1. and a connection is made between the forward links and the arms 16 by means of slotted intermediate links 34 h-ech mattress frame section has secured. therein a series of coil springs 18 for the support of a mattress, the coil springs being secured between the side and end bars of the frame in any suitable manner. The springs employed in the inner and intermediate sections being single shown, While the springs in the outer section are double to form a support not only for the mattress but also for the upholstered sent section 12'.

In actual operation with the bed folded in l? lg. 1 it can readily be seen that a devenport is formed which in appearance does not give the impression that it is a folding bed. This is'due to the ffaotthat all folding parts an... absolutely inclosed and that the dawnport upholsterelil and finished in the usual. manner. it is desired to employ the bed it only necessary to lift the cover section it has assumed the dotted line posishown at The arm sections 9 are sped b the r: is and swung); outbetween a rdly about the pivots ll, .Jl connecting links 3% l a pull on the forward lllhsr;

us housings; the honor to t the complete raised position shown in Fig. This position being assumed when the oute? section has been fully unfolded. The outer section is here supported by the legs While the intermediate section is supported by the side bars 19 and 21 the side bars 21 being in. turn supported by the links 32, While the head board is sup' ported by the curved portion of the slotted plates 28. The head board will first rise vertically when the mattress frame sections are unfolded. It will then lower-itself as the folding operation takes place and will finally assume the inclined position shown in Fig. 2 when the sections have been completely extended. All parts of the bed are thus rigidly supported and it can also be seen that practically any length and Width mattress may be obtained by merely increasing or decreasing the size of the (lavenport. It can also be seen that as the arm sections have been extended that the mattress or bed entirely open and accessible from either side. l lo obstruction is therefore presented and the general appearance is more that of an ordinary bed than the usual forms of folding sofas and devenports now employed.

After the bed has been extended as shown in Fig. 2 it is possible to release the bedding by extending a foot board such as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 to the dotted line position as shown at l0. This toot board is curried by two slotted arms 41 and also serves the function oil; a mattress or bed clamp when the bed is to be refolded. That is, the foot board may be swung forward in the direction of arrow Z) about a pair of pins 42 extending through the slotted arms. The foot board is then moved dmvnwardly on the pins until the full line position is ussutned as shown in Fig. 3. It will here act a clamp and is positively locked against movement as the lower edge of the slotted arms engages he cross bar of the mattress frame. The bed ineynow be refolded if desired by merely lifting upwardly on the frame in the direction of arrow 0.

For the purpose of entirely hiding the interior mechanism 1 provide a. hinged section 44:. This is connected with the arms of the seat section 17 by a finishing cloth The cover section 5 being also yu'ovided for the same purpose gives the dm'enport a finished and artistic appearance when the bed is vlblded and odds con'i1. arativel little to the general cost of the structure.
